Hi Filippo

I'm assuming you want to make a copy of the Tiger DVD.

Step 1. Insert the retail Mac OS X Install DVD into your drive.

Step 2. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).

Step 3. In Disk Utility, you will notice a white pane on the left hand side. In the pane, select the Mac OS X Install DVD by clicking on it once.

Step 4. Click New Image on the Disk Utility toolbar.

Step 5. A dialog box will appear. Give the new image a name. I used 'Mac OS X Install DVD'. Select the destination where you wish to save it. Leave Image Format at Compressed (default) and Encryption at None (default).

Step 6. Click Save to begin creating the image.

Step 7. Once your image has been created DO NOT mount it. Leave the image alone and proceed to the next section.


Burning the Image

Step 1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).

Step 2. Click Burn on the Disk Utility toolbar (upper left).

Step 3. Navigate to where you saved the DVD image created in the previous section. Click on the image file, then click the Burn button. Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step.

Step5. Insert a DVD when prompted and proceed to Burn it. (use good quality media)

Thank you for the quick reply. No I don't want to make a copy of DVD Tiger.I have installed the new tiger in my power book 12" but I can't use DVD Back up because it's not able to copy commercial DVD's any more.DVD back up was very easy to use and fast. I installed Mac the ripper but I would like to use DVD back up because it's more familiar to me.Do you have an upgrade for DVD back up or any other suggestions?
Thank you
Filippo

Please note that I don't want to copy the dvd containing tiger software.
I want to copy commercial dvd ( which I bought ) using dvd back up ( software to copy dvd with encryption )but with the new tiger as operative system you can't any more because dvd back up copie only pert of the dvd.
Do you have an upgrading for dvd back up software? do you have any suggestions for programs that I can use?

DVDBackup isn't our program. You would need to contact the author to see if there's an upgrade available, if they're goimg to release an upgrade for Tiger.
DVDBackup is an old program, (12/13/2002).

I would suggest try to use MacTheRipper instead.
